Participating in this swap was so much fun. I chose some of my favorite items to send to Lori, and she did the same for me.

I was lucky enough to recieve an apothecary jar with sand and seashells from the beach near Lori's beach house in Myrtle Beach, SC. One of the shells was the most beautiful sand dollar I've ever seen because it is perfectly white. Lori told me that that shell was collected at Shacklefod Banks, a barrier island inhabited with wild animals and other sea animals. So cool.

I also recieved a copy of Southern Living magazine,a picture frame, a wonderful smelling candle in the cutest jar (shaped like a tub),

And, she even sent each of my children a small gift along with a cheesecake dessert mix we can make together.So nice of her.

And lastly, a brand new TWISTED SILVER bracelet.

The best part about the whole exchange is that I've found a great new blogger to visit, and I appreciate so much that she took the time to look around my site to see what my interests were and tailor her favorite things for me.

In enjoyed the swap so much in fact, that I want to have one of my own. I'm thinking a jewelry or book exchange would be fun. Any interest?

I'm glad you liked all of your things. I still love everything you sent me... I had so much fun doing this. i would love to be in on your swap.. I think the jewelry swap would be great, but if you get more votes for the book exchange I would do that as well.

Holy Wow!! That is so awesome. She did such a great job finding things that suit you perfectly. I would totally up for a jewelry exchange. That would be so much fun. I guess I need to head on over to Mamarazzi's site and see how this all transpired :)

OMG, what a cute idea! Love it. Wish I'd gotten in on that fun! How sweet that she sent the kids something too. Oh, and could you be any prettier in your photo? You look like you actually took a shower and everything, LOL. I actually just came by to tell you that the randomly-selected winner of the Cheesecake Factory gift certificate is Joy from Joy to the Blog.
